Reproduce the SKAT p-value (from the SKAT R package) using marginal variant score statistics
1 |
obj |
a fitted null model using KAT.null() or KAT.cnull() |
G |
genotype matrix, sample in rows, variant in columns |
W.beta |
Beta parameters for variant weights |
We compute the SKAT based on the variant test statistics (typically of much smaller dimension), which leads to much more efficient computations. The same algorithm as the SKAT R package is used to compute the tail probability of 1-DF chi-square mixtures.
